Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis is a multi-system genetic disorder caused by mutation in the cystic fibrosis conductance transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene located on chromosome 7. In United Arab Emirates (UAE), pattern of CF causing gene mutations is different than rest of the Arabs in the region and 95% of CF in Emirati families has been found due to two mutations only - -p.S549R(T>G) and p.F508del. We report the case of a homozygote for a mutation 3120 +1G-->A in the Emirati population detected in a young boy referred to CF and Respiratory Clinic at Tawam Hospital (Al Ain, UAE) for screening CFTR gene.

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
